Queer Porto – International Queer Film Festival

In 2015, the Queer Lisboa team finally came up with a long-desired project: the Queer Porto organization. After a “zero edition” in October 2014, the project of a queer festival in the city began to take shape, followed in 2015 and 2016 by two first editions that brought films, performances and parties to Teatro Rivoli, malavoadora.porto, Maus Hábitos and Wrong Weather Gallery. Through these different spaces and its programming policy, the Festival aims to reach out to the various audiences and the different expressions of the cultural fabric of Porto, putting cinema in dialogue with other artistic expressions.

To be held two weeks after the closure of Queer Lisboa, Queer Porto is not an extension of the films scheduled at the Lisbon Festival. Along with the presentation of unpublished titles in Portugal, Queer Porto bets on national premieres, attracting filmmakers to the city and organizing educational and more playful activities. The 4th Edition of the Festival will be held between 10th and 14th October 2018.
